He glanced at the general who asked the question feebly and did not answer. At this time, due to the injury, his thinking had stagnated and he was not very aware of the changes around him.
Another general said:
"I also find it strange that there are not many changes on the city wall from before. I can't see anyone running around, as if there is no one there."
Of course, they couldn't see anyone running around. Although there was a shelf, it could protect them from the arrows, but it also brought inconvenience to their movements. The soldiers could not move as much as they could, and even if they moved, they could only crawl on all fours.
Of course, the Turkic soldiers at a lower level could not see such a movement.
A few people were wondering when they suddenly heard something strange coming from behind them. They turned to look and saw that the siege crossbows behind were being hit by bullets one after another. The soldiers there all had expressions of pain on their faces.
After a while he fell to the ground motionless.
The general who spoke first said in surprise:
"Damn! Their crossbows have a farther range than ours!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of people and horses neighing in front, and a dense rain of bullets and crossbows was seen on the city wall, blocking the way of the soldiers at the front. The soldiers pulled on the reins tightly to avoid danger, causing people to flip over and the front to fall.
One pot.
Seeing this scene, the injured general finally found an opportunity to withdraw, and summoned all his strength to shout:
"Quick...quick, withdraw!"
After the Turkic army ran out of shooting range, the soldiers on the city wall moved away from their seats and cheered with joy.
At this moment, Jiang Wu also forgot about the idea of throwing Arslan into the Yellow River, and quickly ordered the soldiers to "invite" the God of Wealth men under the city into the cells.
As soon as the retreating Turkic troops entered the camp, the injured general fell off his horse and was carried into a tent to recover from his injuries.
Ashina looked at the embarrassed group of people in front of her, and then looked at the sky. She hadn't even been there for a long time, and her face was very serious.
Gathering with the generals in the big tent, the generals talked about the battle process. Ashinayan noticed two things: first, there seemed to be no one on the city wall. Why? First, when the soldiers retreated,
, intending to bring back the siege crossbow and the soldiers. After all, they are at the back and can be brought back easily. However, no matter how many people go, as long as they approach that place, whether they are people or horses, they will fall to the ground and no one dares.
Further forward, two siege crossbows were also lost.
One general said:
"I heard that the black-faced Master Zhuo will summon the Yin soldiers. Could it be some kind of evil spell they used?"
Dear readers, please don’t laugh. In modern times, with the development of science, people have doubts about ghosts and gods. But in ancient times, science, especially natural science, was backward and some natural phenomena could not be explained. People really
I really believe in monsters and ghosts, and when I say it openly, I don’t feel that I am ignorant. Instead, I feel that I have put forward a solution and a point of view. At that time, when Hyun called in Yin soldiers, he also took advantage of this knowledge deficiency of the ancients.
He made a paper tiger and swaggered through the market.
As a general, he said things that were considered inappropriate in modern times. For that time, it was not a joke and it was not worthy of ridicule.
Therefore, when the general said these words, not only was he not laughed at by everyone or criticized by Ashina, but it actually made everyone think.
On the other side, Jiang Wu is arguing with Arslan:
"How many times can your jerry-built city wall withstand a siege crossbow attack?"
As mentioned before, the Tuxi tribe has faced attacks from small tribes over the years. These small tribes are still mainly cavalry, and their weapons are bows and arrows. Building such a wall has really blocked their attacks many times, but
, this time facing a powerful opponent like the Turks, the weapons they possess are unmatched by those small tribes. The city wall that the Tuxi tribe is proud of has exposed its shortcomings in this battle.
Arslan also understands the problem of the city wall. However, after all, this city wall has blocked so many attacks for the Tuxi tribe and has made great contributions. In the hearts of the Tuxi tribe, the people still have great feelings for it, but
, but was called by Jiang Wu to have broken the city wall. He immediately got angry and stood up so fast that his momentum startled everyone in the room.
Arslan put one hand on her hips and turned her orchid fingers with the other, pointing at Jiang Wu and scolding:
"Why is the city wall broken? Do you know how many attacks it has blocked for our Tuxi Department? It not only has merit, but also hard work! Why is it broken?! If you have something to say, talk about it and don't act like a bitch.
Swearing! It’s annoying!”
Such an expression on his face completely dissipated the previous momentum. The generals of Kun Yu Kingdom all covered their mouths, lowered their heads, and suppressed laughter.
Jiang Wu bit his lip hard to keep from laughing out loud. After calming down his emotions, he said to Arslan:
"I'm sorry, I used the wrong word just now."
Arslan looked him up and down, twisted his waist and sat down again, snorted and said:
"Quite a man!"
Jiang Wu wanted to laugh again, coughed slightly, suppressed his laughter and said:
"However, the problem of the city wall still exists. We have surrendered their two siege crossbows, but what if they still have more? Or what should we do if they bring reinforcements? Our city wall really cannot bear it.
How long will you stay?"
Arslan sighed:
"I know it too, but in such a short period of time, there is no time to even reinforce it. Didn't we hit their siege crossbow just now? We can still hit them next time they come again."
Ning Xi waved her hand, stopped the conversation and said:
"The range of the crossbow is indeed farther than that of the bow and arrow, but it is far inferior to the siege crossbow."
For a moment, the room fell into silence.
Suddenly, Arslan's lieutenant punched his palm:
"Then, we will use the catapult crossbow to push the siege crossbow away! The siege crossbow is indeed very powerful, but its power will be greatly weakened after it exceeds the effective distance. In this way, our city wall can withstand it!"
Everyone's eyes lit up, this is indeed a solution!
Jiang Wu went to find Hyun and wanted to ask her if she had two, three, or seven or eight plans. The more plans, the more confident she would be. However, when he entered the door, he saw Hyun and Ning Xi sleeping on the bed, which frightened Jiang Wu.
Without skipping a beat, when I took a closer look, I saw that there were still lumps of grass residue left on their faces.
Ning Xi shouted loudly:
"Don't think that I will let you go just because you are Grandma Huang!"
Jiang Wu shook his head, looked at the things in the room, saw the chessboard painted on the floor, sighed, and said to himself:
"We are fighting in the front. How about you two playing backgammon here! How long have you been playing? Your faces are all painted green."
When he said this, his eyes lit up. He turned around and compared their faces carefully. It was obvious that there was a lot of dirt on Hyun's face. Jiang Wu smiled and said:
"I asked you to learn Go, but if you don't learn it, it's a loss, right?"
The two of them were sleeping like this, and Jiang Wu couldn't wake them up. Besides, it wasn't an urgent matter. Let's wait until they had slept enough. He left a message for Ding Wangcai and the others and left.
